Deutsche Bahn: Bahn klagt gegen Italo-Beschluss der Netzagentur
Die Bundesnetzagentur hat im Juli entschieden, dass die Bahn mehr Platz für Konkurrenten im Fernverkehr machen muss. Der bundeseigene Konzern geht dagegen nun gerichtlich vor.
Deutsche Bahn, the German railway company, has taken legal action against a decision made by the Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) regarding the allocation of capacity on high-demand railway lines. The agency has ruled that DB InfraGo, a subsidiary responsible for infrastructure, must set aside at least a quarter of its capacity to compete on these congested routes, particularly in major hubs such as Munich and Frankfurt.
This decision is in anticipation of the entry of Italian railway company Italo into the German long-distance network starting in 2028. DB InfraGo plans to appeal the ruling through an expedited process, arguing that the agency's decision will significantly increase conflicts over the use of specific routes at certain times, leading to legal and practical challenges in managing track capacity.
